Cigarettes; increase excise tax on.

Summary

The bill would increase Mississippi’s cigarette tax to 5.9 cents per cigarette (counting any cigarette longer than 120 mm as two) and levy a 1.25‑cent tax on each disposable heated‑tobacco stick. It also sets a 15 % tax on cigars and other non‑cigarette tobacco products and changes the dealer discount on tax stamps. The measure was intended to raise revenue and curb tobacco use, but it died in committee.
